Watch Our Step!

Yet another one of those difficult problems to solve:

We built a new workroom here at Zentangle central last year.
We broke through a wall, added a door, and converted our old garage into a spiffy workspace.

This, so we didn't have to schlep everything upstairs just to carry it all back down. Plus, we were running out of room.

When we broke through the wall to put in the door, there was an awkward half-step down to the floor of the new workspace.
I thought, I can live with that. Nothing's perfect. No problem.

But after a couple guests didn't notice the step, I knew we had to do something.
But, what?
We thought of putting a big sign ("I can make a sign!" I said proudly.)

That didn't work even a little bit!

How about lighting the step with Christmas lights? Cool. However that only works going out the door, and not coming in. Besides, I'd have those exposed wire issues to agonize over in our beautiful new room.

I love this Maria, and I love all your work... I have finally downloaded this page and will now try and stay on it... I did a tribute to your love on my blog... I hope that you enjoy it... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

The step looks beautiful, with its tangled embellishing - perfect to entice folk to 'step in to an enchanted place'. What a brilliant solution to your problem. The step was obviously there for a reason, the reason being it needed or wanted to be tangled !! LOL

is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.
We believe that life is an art form and that the Zentangle method is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life.
